I'm a little bit confused about extex (www.extex.org) and xetex (scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=xetex) How do they relate with Context ? luigi

you can use context with xetex; i know nothing of extex apart from that it is a java based tex variant Hans -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, but to make a pdf we must convert from dvi, right ?
indeed
Is it "good" or pdfetex has something more ? (Actually , I mean)
luatex (pdftex 2) probably will have more (esp control) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

XeTeX is reasonably well supported in ConTeXt (font stuff is better supported in LaTeX for the time being, hopefully this will change). I was in "Stammtisch" in Nürnberg in 2005 where exTeX developers were all enthusiastic about it, but at the same meeting in Ulm this year it was all silent about that topic. It's written in Java and runs already, but I have a feeling that they didn't come any further than experimental code and I didn't have a feeling that much has been done in the last year (but I may be wrong).

I will cook up a decent open type font model for luatex and backport to xetex for as far as possible.
